The Kansas City Chiefs agreed to terms with No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher yesterday, ensuring
that the big offensive tackle out of Central Michigan will be in training camp with plenty of time
to prepare for the season.

A person familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had
not announced details, told the Associated Press that the contract will be for five years. The deal
is expected to be in the $22 million range, which would put it on par with the two previous No. 1
picks to have been signed since the NFL instituted a new rookie wage scale in the
collective-bargaining agreement.

Fisher was expected to report to training camp yesterday in St. Joseph, Mo., in time for the
team’s first full-squad workout later in the day. He attended the Chiefs’ entire offseason program
but missed three days of practice this week involving his fellow rookies.

Fisher and another tackle, Texas A&M’s Luke Joeckel, were widely considered the top
offensive linemen available in this year’s draft. The Chiefs opted to nab Fisher with the first No.
1 pick in franchise history, securing a bookend tackle for new quarterback Alex Smith.

Fisher is only the third offensive tackle picked No. 1 overall in the modern NFL draft.

“We were fortunate to have a draft where there was a number of offensive linemen who are
first-round-caliber guys,” new coach Andy Reid said after the draft. “That’s what we need here, and
we have a good nucleus now.”

• Washington Redskins defensive end Jarvis Jenkins was suspended for four regular-season games

Jenkins released a statement saying he was “shocked and confused” to learn that he had tested
positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance. He remains eligible to practice at training
camp and play in exhibition games.

• New York Jets cornerback Aaron Berry will miss the 2013 season because of a knee injury
suffered on the first day of practice at training camp.
